DOE Global Threat Reduction Initiative

The National Nuclear Security Administration awarded this Master IDIQ on April 16, 2007, to support the Global Threat Reduction Initiative with a shared ceiling of $100 million, but ordering closed on April 23, 2012, and the vehicle is no longer active.

Twenty-eight task orders were issued over the vehicle's lifetime, with peak activity in 2010 and 2011 (seven and three orders respectively). The most recent task order was awarded in December 2015, ten years ago. The combined potential value of all task orders is $26.4 million, of which $11.5 million (44 percent) has been obligated. This low obligated percentage reflects the vehicle's maturity and closure: most orders have completed, and several recent modifications deobligated funds.

Scope spans nuclear threat reduction and nonproliferation work: repatriation of spent nuclear fuel and highly enriched uranium from international research reactors (Chile, Mexico, Turkey, South Africa, Netherlands, Indonesia); radiation protection implementation in Eastern Europe, Africa, and Asia; physical security assessments and upgrades at foreign nuclear facilities; and program management and technical support for the GTRI office. Task-order values range from roughly $30,000 to $6.5 million in ceiling value, with cost-plus-fixed-fee and firm-fixed-price pricing models.

The competitive base is narrow. Professional Project Services, Inc. and Global Threat Reduction Solutions LLC each hold eight and twelve orders respectively and together account for approximately $23.2 million of the $26.4 million combined potential value. Gem Technology International, Corp holds the remaining eight orders worth $3.2 million. All work funded the NNSA's Office of Global Threat Reduction (NA-21). Eighty-two percent of orders carried no set-aside; the remaining 18 percent (five orders) were designated total small business.

This vehicle is closed to new orders and represents completed work in nuclear security and nonproliferation executed primarily under two to three prime contractors for a single customer agency.
